I can't wait to see how the US squad does, maybe a bit of a Ryder Cup preview!

Presidents cup in Korea? Interesting.
 
It's the top 10 in the point standings that automatically make the team right?

Wow! Very surprised Ricky isn't higher on the standings. I would have thought top 10 for him at least.
 
I heard Jay Haas on the Fred Couples show last night. He seemed to hint there will be a good amount of young guns on the team if they keep playing well. I sure hope so as that should benefit the Ryder Cup too.
 
DeLeat in 12th I hope he can make it in.
 
I'm very curious who both captains will pick in about 30 min!

Is Bae eligible with the military commitment issue?
 
Funny that Scott might be the weak link on the international team with his recent play.

I think they're hoping for a dispensation because it's being played in his home country. But I'm not sure a determination has been made or announced.
 
Who would you guys take as captains picks?

Bill and Phil for sure.

Bill? I would have said Reed and Koepka but Koepka has not been good the last couple of tournaments, but then neither has Spieth.

I've always liked Koepka, I would like to see some younger players getting the nod. There really isn't anyone not on the list playing "great" golf.

You think Jay goes there with Bill? I haven't seen the rankings so don't know how close he is to the top 10

This is how I lean too. I'd like to see Koepka make it. I'd almost definitely leave Phil home. Everyone says he's a good match play guy, but I'm not sure his record really bears that out, though he has been better in the President's Cup than the Ryder Cup for sure.
 
Bowditch is the first pick for Int'l Team.
 
Bae is the other pick for the Int'l Team.

I was hoping this would happen. While I want the US to bring home the win, I hope Bae plays really well for this.
